No more Baby Face

So... since I've lost weight, my face has aged dramatically! No more puffy fat to smooth out the wrinkles. Anyone else getting gaunt in the face? Smiles CP

Yeah! I just saw myself on video and was a bit horrified at how old I looked. Too much skin and too many wrinkles! Joy

Me too, CeeCee, lots o' lines and saggy skin. Using the higher end moisterizes seems to help a bit. Oh well, I'll take it if I get to keep moving my booty! Reenie

My face does look older, but people's impression of me is trending younger these days - I think it's because my outlook is better, more upbeat and positive, my face is more open, less down, and I have more energy so I move around more and with a spring in my step. I look at my "before" face and I see now that I was so bloated. I literally looked INFLATED.. like I was going to explode. I looked SO unhealthy and unhappy. I didn't see it then because it was just the way I'd always looked... seeing me now, how God INTENDED me to look.. I just look so much healthier, I FEEL younger. I'll take wrinkly energy over bloated any day. Have a good one, Jen M

A co-worker and I were talking about this earlier today. She is about 1 year ahead of us since surgery. At this point she and I are about 5 lbs different in weight. She told me that my face would fill out a little as time goes on. It would not look so drawn as we settle down with our weight. That is ok by me. Maybe this will happen to us all. As long as I do not look aneroxic, I will be happy.

Martha - you look about fifteen years younger in your new picture, and so much happier! Congratulations!! Jen

Ohhh, Martha! That would be great! I gonna' keep my fingers crossed that that happens, but I can't complain since I'd rather look drawn than marshmellowy! CP
